These Stars Are on the Rise

There is a Kurdish proverb that says: "until you have known hell, paradise will not be good enough for you". In the territory surrounded by real estate speculation on a beach in Pernambuco, northeast Brazil, hell is not only familiar to people, but also it exists precisely because there are those who try to make it up as paradise. In the territory close to this beach, there are many working class families, there are few people living by the sea and there are bodies that inexplicably appear lifeless. It is to this space that Rejane goes (Ana Flavia Cavalcanti), a medical examiner who seeks to understand what happened to her brother, Rodrigo (Pedro Wagner), an expert diver found dead in this sea surrounded by shadows on all sides.

Alone, Rejane tries to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that includes the influence of a doctor in the region, Maristela (Joana Medeiros), the unspoken words of Junior (Eron Villar), her brother's friend and partner, the affective stories of Amos (Edilson Silva) with whom Rodrigo had had a relationship and, finally, the negotiations between the sea shore surrounded by coconut trees and luxury houses and the shore spiked by power plants and giant freighters.

Along the way, she becomes a crossroads-body, opening time backwards and forwards. On walks through the territories of her own past, she is reunited with Naná (in a special participation by actress Zezé Motta) who lived with her mother, mysteriously murdered when Rejane was still very young. In the not always friendly relationship with her son Ivan (Luciano Pedro Jr.), she also ends up finding clues about how the younger generation will face the future.

Between the blue lighting of a swimming pool overlooking the sea and the orange reflection of giant ships parked in the water, there is a simultaneously racial and classist combustion being created. The clash between the forces of control and the forces of resistance seems to be inevitable, and Rejane needs to distinguish who and what, in the midst of hell, is disguised as paradise.
